O surdo além da deficiência

Monografia (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Humanas, Departamento de Serviço Social, 2013.O presente trabalho aborda a questão da surdez para além da deficiência, apresentando o Surdo através de uma visão cultural, aproximando o leitor da Cultura Surda e assim desmistificando a surdez como um impedimento social. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi, buscar em outras áreas do conhecimento bases que permitissem um melhor atendimento aos Surdos através de uma nova perspectiva de entendimento destes. Para isso foi utilizada análise e revisão bibliográfica de livros, documentos, artigos, dentre outros que permitiu perceber a necessidade de repensar a atuação do Serviço Social frente a esses indivíduos, visualizando-os não mais através do olhar clínico, mas enxergando neles sujeitos possuidores de cultura, identidade e língua própria, e que devem ter seus direitos garantidos. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of deafness further then a disability, presenting the Deaf through a cultural vision, bringing the reader closer to the Deaf Culture and thus demystifying deafness as a social impediment. Thus the aim of this work was to search bases in other areas of knowledge that allow a better treatment to the Deaf through a new perspective of understanding. The methodology used for the study was the analysis and literature review of books, documents, articles, among others that allowed realize the need of rethinking the role of social work toward these individuals viewing them no longer through the clinical gaze, but seeing them as subjects possessed of culture, identity and their own language, and that they should have their rights guaranteed

Development of enzymic time-temperature integrators with rapid detection for evaluation of continuous HTST pasteurization processes

The assessment of the thermal process impact in terms of food safety and quality is of great importance for process evaluation and design. This can be accomplished from the analysis of the residence time and temperature distributions coupled with the kinetics of thermal change, or from the use of a proper time-temperature integrator (TTI) as indicator of safety and quality. The objective of this work was to develop and test enzymic TTIs with rapid detection for the evaluation of continuous HTST pasteurization processes (70-85 degrees C, 10-60 s) of low-viscosity liquid foods, such as milk and juices. Enzymes peroxidase, lactoperoxidase and alkaline phosphatase in phosphate buffer were tested and activity was determined with commercial reflectometric strips. Discontinuous thermal treatments at various time-temperature combinations were performed in order to adjust a first order kinetic model of a two-component system. The measured time-temperature history was considered instead of assuming isothermal conditions. Experiments with slow heating and cooling were used to validate the adjusted model. Only the alkaline phosphatase TTI showed potential to be used for the evaluation of pasteurization processes. The choice was based on the obtained z-values of the thermostable and thermolabile fractions, on the cost and on the validation tests. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Self-regulation of ice flow varies across the ablation area in South-West Greenland

The concept of a positive feedback between ice flow and enhanced melt rates in a warmer climate fuelled the debate regarding the temporal and spatial controls on seasonal ice acceleration. Here we combine melt, basal water pressure and ice velocity data. Using 20 years of data covering the whole ablation area, we show that there is not a strong positive correlation between annual ice velocities and melt rates. Annual velocities even slightly decreased with increasing melt. Results also indicate that melt variations are most important for velocity variations in the upper ablation zone up to the equilibrium line altitude. During the extreme melt in 2012, a large velocity response near the equilibrium line was observed, highlighting the possibility of meltwater to have an impact even high on the ice sheet. This may lead to an increase of the annual ice velocity in the region above S9 and requires further monitoring

Calendário ilustrativo: uma abordagem no combate à doença de chagas e seus vetores / Illustrative calendar: an approach to combating chagas disease and its vectors

Atualmente, no Brasil, as atividades de controle da transmissão vetorial da doença de Chagas (DCH) são calcadas na vigilância dos vetores com participação comunitária, a partir nas notificações de insetos suspeitos de serem “barbeiros”, pela população. Diversos métodos didáticos podem ser empregados no avanço do conhecimento e sensibilização do público alvo para que haja maior adesão ao Programa de Controle da doença de Chagas (PCDCh). Sendo assim, esse trabalho teve como objetivo a elaboração e distribuição de um calendário ilustrado sobre a DCH, que abordasse como devem ser conduzidas as capturas dos vetores e os modos de prevenção da doença. Como resultado, produziram-se nove mil cópias de um calendário ilustrativo intitulado “Calendário Doença de Chagas”, distribuído para a população rural do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, com frases, figuras e ilustrações no que concerne, sobretudo, o combate, captura e a notificação correta dos vetores da doença, além de citações que auxiliam na prevenção de acidentes com animais peçonhentos e dicas de promoção da saúde. Assim, concebeu-se uma nova ferramenta educativa para o fortalecimento da vigilância entomológica da afecção, tendo a possibilidade de replicação em diversas localidades endêmicas

Cross-talk between the Aeromonas hydrophila type III secretion system and lateral flagella system

Aeromonas hydrophila is responsible for aeromonad septicaemia in fish, and gastroenteritis and wound infections in humans. The type III secretion system (T3SS) is utilized by aeromonads to inject protein effectors directly into host cells. One of the major genetic regulators of the T3SS in several bacterial species is the AraC-like protein ExsA. Previous studies have suggested a link between T3SS regulation and lateral flagella expression. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic regulation of the T3SS and its potential interaction with the lateral flagella system in A. hydrophila. To investigate the genes encoding the T3SS regulatory components exsA, exsD, exsC, and exsE were mutated and the activities of the T3SS promoters were measured in wild type and mutant backgrounds demonstrating a regulatory network. The Exs proteins were shown to interact with each other by BACTH assay and Far-Western Blot. The findings suggested a regulatory cascade in which ExsE was bound to the chaperone protein ExsC. When ExsC was free it sequestered the anti-activator ExsD thus stopping the inhibition of the T3SS master regulator ExsA allowing T3SS expression. The T3SS regulatory components were also shown to affect the expression of the lateral flagella system. The activities of the lateral flagella promoters were shown to be repressed by the absence of ExsD and ExsE, suggesting that the T3SS master regulator ExsA was a negative regulator of the lateral flagella system

Lunar exploration: opening a window into the history and evolution of the inner Solar System

The lunar geological record contains a rich archive of the history of the inner Solar System, including information relevant to understanding the origin and evolution of the Earth-Moon system, the geological evolution of rocky planets, and our local cosmic environment. This paper provides a brief review of lunar exploration to-date, and describes how future exploration initiatives will further advance our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Moon, the Earth-Moon system, and of the Solar System more generally. It is concluded that further advances will require the placing of new scientific instruments on, and the return of additional samples from, the lunar surface. Some of these scientific objectives can be achieved robotically, for example by in situ geochemical and geophysical measurements and through carefully targeted sample return missions. However, in the longer term, we argue that lunar science would greatly benefit from renewed human operations on the surface of the Moon, such as would be facilitated by implementing the recently proposed Global Exploration Roadmap
